Now, following an unusual hiccup in the case that proves Mexican authorities confiscated Bruce's cell phone last month and made thousands of dollars worth of calls on it, a source tells TMZ exactly what the suspect's defense will be:

Beresford-Redman's attorney will claim police are in need of a scapegoat because there were two deaths aside from Monica's at the Cancun hotel in question, along with an alleged rape by an employee.

With tourism in danger, the lawyer will state, Bruce has been made the fall guy.

Meanwhile, a private funeral service is scheduled for Monica tomorrow. Bruce is not invited.

- I don't believe about that alleged "suspect's defense", because it would be thoroughly ridiculous... Nor I think any one would try to relate Beresford-Redman to the other deadly crimes at the Moon Palace, happened one in 2007, another one year ago -on june 2009- (the rape, no one has found out...) I live in CANcun, we know...
